Adding alternative text to an image

Not all users can view images in Web documents. Some users use aural or other non-visual browsers, and some users disable images in visual browsers to reduce page load times. For these users, it is useful to supply a text description of an image that will stand for the image itself. Such text is called alternative text or alt text. Most visual browsers also display alt text when a user holds the mouse pointer over an image, possibly providing useful information about the image for ordinary users.
